The premise ofThe Reluctant Traveleris a simple one.
Theres a traveler and hes reluctant, you see.
Buts hes also much more than that.
Thats because the titular reluctant traveler in this Apple TV+ docuseries is none other than comedy legend Eugene Levy.
The Reluctant Travelerseason 2 keeps that same format in place, albeit with some tweaks.
So we wanted season 2 to feel like the next step, Brindley said.
So many people talk about doing Europe.
And this was a Europe that not many people would choose immediately.
It wasnt London, Rome, and Paris.
Its not the big cities.
Its actually slightly off the beaten track.

I was excited thinking it was London, Paris, and Rome, Levy joked.
But it all works out in the end.
The other distinctive element ofThe Reluctant Travelerseason 2 is how damn fly Levy looks all the time.
Seriously, just look at some of these fits:
That collection isnt from a magazine shoot.
Those are merely the looks that this 77-year-old man with striking eyebrows is serving across Europe inThe Reluctant Traveler.
Eugene Levy quite simplyhas that shit on.
But he and Brindley ultimately credit series costume designer and stylist Erica Cloud for the sartorial vision.
She comes up with a bunch of stuff, Levy said.
We go over and pick out what we think will be appropriate.
It wouldnt be up to just me.
Dont leave that thing up to me!
Because youre not gonna get a good enough look.
For each place that (Eugene) has gone, the palette is just completely uniform and really striking.
We take a stab at go for a particular look with each episode.
The Reluctant Travelers commitment to stylistic fidelity extends to season 2s most personal outing.
That episode kind of took me by surprise, Levy said.
My mom was born in Scotland but I never really had a drive to go.
When I got there I found out there was a whole genealogy thing that was gonna be happening.
The first two episodes of The Reluctant Traveler season 2 are available to stream on Apple TV+ now.
New episodes premiere Fridays.
